ya. grr....

well, anyways, how are you?

are you post or pre op?

so for the past 2 days the chatroom is not loading for me. anyone else experiencing these problems?!?!?!

put a ticker in my signature?!! whenever i put the code in the box it just shows the code not the ticker. thanks!

hey guys! thanks for commenting! how cool that you & your husband were both banded on the same day! how is everyones recovery?

what is everyone ages? starting weights? goal weights? any weight loss so far? i need some buddies! oh & have you taken off your gauze & tape yet off your incisions? also, whose dr's is making them stay on a liquid diet for 4 plus weeks unless told otherwise? mine is.

hmm well i stayed on a very strict liquid diet, pre-op, which caused me to lose 16 lbs, & 4 days post-op & currently on a strict liquid diet [or nothing] & im pretty sure ive lost another 10-15 lbs! i have a recently turned 2 year old daughter...& i to ate what she didnt. haha. but you do know that you will NOT be able to lift anything over 5 lbs for 4-6 weeks. i mean talk to your dr about that, maybe everybody is different. but make sure youre gonna have TONS of help, if you have to change diapers that is or anything like lifting into a high chair or whatever. also no bending. this week has been hard for me, because im frustrated due to the fact that i cant do what i want. lol. my daughters birthday party is tomorrow & this week ive been stuck pretty much just supervising the clean up & decorating. also it is very hard the liquid diet thing, especially having to be active for a toddler! so make sure you recruit in some family & friends to help you out mama! im here if you have any questions.

omg me too!!! when were you banded? i was on the 3rd, my first appointment is set for the 19th as well. i feel the SAME way as you. my daughters 2nd birthday party is tomorrow & i was staring at the veggie platters licking my lips. haha. i am on a liquid diet currently, for 3 more weeks ive been told unless otherwise. i lost 15 lbs from my 1st consult to my surgery date & im pretty sure ive lost alteast 10 more lbs. congrats to losing 17.5!! go us! hehe. as far as the feelings go, that your old life i dead & that even tho it was sick life of binging & eating waaay too much, we will continue to miss it. but what we did, by getting banded, is going to help us in the future, to make us stronger & better!

your dr put the fluid in? how was that? have you been on a liquid diet since surgery? sorry for the q's. lol. i was banded on the 3rd! i dont go to my first appointment until the 19th!

lets be buddies!!!

i was banded november 3rd, so 4 days post-op. i have no appetite & im pretty sure ive already lost some weight. lets talk!
